Study Notes
Properties of Quadrilaterals
- The sum of interior angles in a convex quadrilateral is 360 degrees.
- The sum of exterior angles in a convex quadrilateral is also 360 degrees.
Properties of Specific Quadrilaterals
- Parallelogram: Opposite sides and angles are congruent, consecutive angles are supplementary, diagonals bisect each other.
- Rhombus: All sides are congruent, opposite angles are congruent, diagonals bisect each angle and are perpendicular to each other.
- Rectangle: All angles are right angles, diagonals are congruent and bisect each other, opposite sides are parallel and congruent.
- Square: Combines properties of both rhombus and rectangle; all sides are congruent, all angles are right angles, diagonals bisect opposite angles and are congruent.
- Kite: One diagonal bisects two angles, diagonals are perpendicular, has two pairs of consecutive sides that are congruent, and one pair of opposite angles congruent.
- Trapezoid: Has exactly one pair of opposite parallel sides.
- Isosceles Trapezoid: One pair of opposite parallel sides, the non-parallel sides are congruent, and both pairs of base angles are congruent.
Conditions for Parallelograms
- If a quadrilateral has opposite sides that are congruent, then it is a parallelogram.
- If both pairs of opposite angles are congruent, it indicates a parallelogram.
- If the diagonals bisect each other within a quadrilateral, it is classified as a parallelogram.
- A quadrilateral with one pair of opposite sides that are both congruent and parallel is a parallelogram.
- If each pair of consecutive angles in a quadrilateral is supplementary, it also qualifies as a parallelogram.
Specific Implications of Quadrilateral Types
- A rhombus is specifically an equilateral parallelogram with perpendicular diagonals.
- A rectangle is an equilangular parallelogram characterized by congruent diagonals.
- A square is a unique case of both a rectangle and a rhombus, exhibiting all respective properties.
Symmetry and Diagonal Properties
- Diagonals of a rectangle are congruent; it has two lines of symmetry.
- Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular; the rhombus also has two lines of symmetry.
- In a square, the diagonals are both perpendicular and congruent.
General Definitions
- Quadrilateral: A polygon with four sides.
- Parallelogram: A quadrilateral where both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
- Rhombus: A parallelogram with four congruent sides.
- Rectangle: A parallelogram with four right angles.
- Square: A parallelogram with four congruent sides and angles.
